20080217657Power Semiconductor Device and Method of Manufacturing a Power Semiconductor Device - A semiconductor power switch having an array of basic cells in which peripheral regions in the active drain region extend beside the perimeter of the base-drain junction, the peripheral regions being of higher dopant density than the rest of the second drain layer. Intermediate regions in the centre of the active drain region are provided of lighter dopant density than the rest of the second drain layer. This provides an improved compromise between the on-state resistance and the breakdown voltage by enlarging the current conduction path at in its active drain region. On the outer side of each edge cell of the array, the gate electrode extends over and beyond at least part of the perimeters of the base-source junction and the base-drain junction towards the adjacent edge of the die. Moreover, on the outer side of each edge cell, the second drain layer includes a region of reduced dopant density that extends beyond the gate electrode right to the adjacent edge of the die09-11-2008

20090014792POWER SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A power semiconductor device comprising an array of cells distributed over a surface of a substrate, the source regions of the individual cells of the array comprising a plurality of source region branches each extending laterally outwards towards at least one source region branch of an adjacent cell and presenting juxtaposed ends, the base regions of the individual cells of the array comprising a corresponding plurality of base region branches merging together adjacent and between the juxtaposed ends of the source region branches to form a single base region surrounding the source regions of the individual cells of the array in the substrate. The junctions between the merged base region and the drain region are solely concave laterally and define rounded current conduction path areas for the on-state of the device between adjacent cells that are depleted in the off-state of the device to block flow of current from the source regions to the drain electrode. Floating voltage regions of opposite conductivity type to the drain region are buried in the substrate beneath the merged base region and present features corresponding to and juxtaposed with features of the merged base region in each cell so that the voltage of the floating voltage regions tends to the voltage of the source regions when depletion layers blocking the current conduction paths reach the floating voltage regions, whereby to enhance the development of the depletion layers. The features of the floating voltage regions define rings of the opposite conductivity type to the drain region that surround the current conduction paths of respective cells. The floating voltage regions include respective islands situated within the current conduction paths.01-15-2009
